   Apple TV+ spent $20B on original content. If only people actually watched.
   Apple TV+ has a lot of prestige, but not a lot of viewers.

     @arstechnica I loved Silo and Foundation, none of the rest reached that level.

     @arstechnica I’m paying for the opportunity- the issue for me is having Time to watch.

     A larger problem is very few streaming platforms are monolithic enough in their catalog to make subscribing to all worthwhile, forcing those with content to rent exclusivity to their competitors for income. Which means no streamer will have an always available dependable catalog.

     @arstechnica The only streaming service worth keeping all year.

     @arstechnica Severance, Silo, Slow Horses, Bad Monkey, Ted Lasso, For All Mankind, Shrinking, for me, are all exceptionally good TV shows - Mythic Quest, Foundation, Bad Sisters, See, Masters of the Skies, and a number of others are also well worth a watch. I think AppleTV+ is great for TV shows, but Apple could save some money by forgetting about spending truckloads on movies, which apart from CODA (that they bought on the cheap from Sundance) get a pretty big thumbs down from me.
